“I was wrong”

Often times I like to check my batting average when I make bold predictions, so I am going to do that here. This keeps me in check. Turns out I was wrong way more that I thought. And naively so. It s important to realize this when planning for the future. The Ukraine war will cause [ ]

chatGPT

chatGPT writing about rain. har har. . . ChatGPT, write like Kim Kardashian and explain how rain forms OMG, have you ever wondered how rain forms? It s like, so crazy! Okay, so basically, when the sun heats up the Earth s surface, it causes water to evaporate from lakes, rivers, and oceans, right? And then, that [ ]

A covid-19 retrospective

Now that covid pandemic is effectively ended for the great bulk of what I refer to as pop culture , it is nice to have a retrospective. And the big lessons I learned from this are: I deeply admire people that say I changed my mind when new information came into the picture. I thus changed [ ]

My unpopular opinion regarding the Ukraine war

My unpopular opinion regarding the Ukraine war: I think this is a mistake and a big one. These sanctions, along with these ridiculous panedemic lockdowns, will lead to a huge economic collapse, something way way worse than the great depression. The United States and it s european allies are literally cutting off our own supply of [ ]

My thoughts on covid-19

To make sure my stance on covid is absolutely clear. I believe covid-19 is about as dangerous as the flu, which is not very. I also believe covid-19 vaccines are about as effective as flu shots, which again is not very. Although, perhaps slightly. Covid-19 is completely overblown beyond proportion and the whole world overreacted. [ ]

Sweden and covid-19

I find it bizarre that no one mentions Sweden in the vaccine debate. During 2020, Sweden had: no vaccinations no masks no lockdown Yet their hospitals never got overwhelmed. I also know this to be a fact as I have a relative who works there in an actual hospital in Stockholm. And total (all cause) [ ]

Why I choose not to get vaccinated

Back in March 2020, when this whole covid hysteria started, I actually started reading the scientific journals on this supposedly novel virus. I determined the infection fatality rate of this thing is a joke, everyone is massively over-reacting, and it s not going to end up not killing anyone that I actually know. Which it didn t. [ ]

Inflation is coming!

Get ready for inflation. I know I ve been preaching this for years, but now we are actually about toexperience it. US Bonds are spiking which implies the market sees more long term risk in the US dollar. Also, notice the price of silver. As of this writing:Market price: $25/ounceStreet price: $40/ounce Just watch when this [ ]

What do you think are the primary motivations behind reporting on the plague and shutdowns in a way so as to make it seem as if are obligated to shut down society and wall ourselves at home?

I saw this posting on reddit to the above title and it did a good job of summing up my feelings on the subject. A multiple-model approach to analysis usually yields good results. Posted by chasonreddit on reddit: I m a believer that there there are no huge conspiracies in government or media. There are simply [ ]

reddit’s /r/losangeles response to cancel culture

I wrote an email to the moderators of /r/losangeles regarding my concern over their contribution to cancel culture . I am posting this online so everyone can see how much of an ass reddit is in handling this issue. Dear /r/losangeles, My name is Steve. I ve been a long time redditor of over 12 years. You [ ]
